Ellen DeGeneres isn't about to let that chicken nuggets teen steal her Twitter record

Ellen DeGeneres knows her Twitter record is in danger, and has proactively taken steps to keep it in her name.

As you'll recall, the comedian's 2014 Oscars Selfie tweet holds the current record for most retweets of all time, with almost 3,286,771 and counting. Now another tweet threatens to dethrone DeGeneres.

At nearly 2,763,800 retweets, a tweet from high school student Carter Wilkerson -- who Wendy's promised a year of free chicken nuggets should he reach 18 million retweets -- is close to beating DeGeneres' record.

Unwilling to cede her title to a hungry teenager, DeGeneres proposed a compromise during her Thursday show.

"I challenge everyone who retweets Carter's tweet to also retweet my Oscars selfie," she said. "That way I retain my title, and he can reach his goal."

She also offered Carter a flatscreen TV and a year's worth of free Ellen-branded underwear, should he reach his goal of 18 million.

Though DeGeneres makes a tempting offer, Wilkerson seems to have other plans:
